Default suburban traction controll delete?

ive got new set of tires on order, figured id finish off these...

No matter what i do i cant power brake, even in the rain. But i can go from a stop, floor the gas and it will spinn in the rain. Our nissan armada is the same way but i found out if you unplug this harness in attached to the brake pedal it will do a smoke show like john force.

So on a 01 2500 4x4 suburban, 8.1L 4L80E auto track transfer case is there a fuese to pull or a wire to unhook. the Tcase has Auto, 2wd, 4wd and 4LO. I know it will not in auto, but in 2wd you would think you could spinn. I used HP tunesrs to adjust the something about 4 months ago but it didnt help on mine.

pour some oil on the tires. sounds crazy but i used to do that with my 79 impala with a2.42 rear end, and i would cloud building after 15 seconds.

I dont think its in the abs system, I think you have a problem with either the tune or tranny/engine problem....

My yukon is the exact same way. Read the owners manual and see if it has instructions to turn off the traction control. Mine is as simple as pulling the shifter down into 1st gear, it shuts it off. Some have a button you push and hold for 20 seconds or something like that. Mine won't smoke in a straight line, but if I turn slightly, then pull it back straight we are good for a smoke show. I believe my problem is the TM since my truck is basically all stock.


On a side note, since I lowered my truck, it is super easy to drift. I made the mistake of teaching my wife to do it. I am amazed that I have any tires left at all!!!

I dont have a traction button, I have that junk auto track transfer case. Some one told me that even in 2wd the T case spinns the front drive shaft. But that doesnt make any sence because in grass your screwed in 2wd.

Im a failure! lol...
